Japan and the Reconstruction of East Asia by D. Kelly Pdf
Dominic Kelly has written a fascinating study of Japanese policies designed to lead to the reconstruction of East Asia. He presents a detailed picture of Japanese activity in East Asia in the areas of production, finance, security and 'knowledge', and maps out the historical context upon which this activity rests. In doing so, Kelly sheds light on the increasingly powerful but imperfectly understood phenomenon of regionalism. He goes on to identity the major fault line situated beneath both theoretical accounts of Japanese regionalism and 'real world' predictions of its success or failure.
Postwar Reconstruction of the Japanese Economy by Saburō Ōkita Pdf
The reconstruction of Japan's economy, as the volume's compiler Saburo Okita points out, was essentially a process of transition from a managed economy to a market economy. The story of this process, which began with the report in this volume, will be an instructive one for both historians and policymakers in countries undergoing the same transition today.
For the past sixty years, the U.S. government has assumed that Japan's security policies would reinforce American interests in Asia. The political and military profile of Asia is changing rapidly, however. Korea's nuclear program, China's rise, and the relative decline of U.S. power have commanded strategic review in Tokyo just as these matters have in Washington. What is the next step for Japan's security policy? Will confluence with U.S. interests—and the alliance—survive intact? Will the policy be transformed? Or will Japan become more autonomous? Richard J. Samuels demonstrates that over the last decade, a revisionist group of Japanese policymakers has consolidated power. The Koizumi government of the early 2000s took bold steps to position Japan's military to play a global security role. It left its successor, the Abe government, to further define and legitimate Japan's new grand strategy, a project well under way-and vigorously contested both at home and in the region. Securing Japan begins by tracing the history of Japan's grand strategy—from the Meiji rulers, who recognized the intimate connection between economic success and military advance, to the Konoye consensus that led to Japan's defeat in World War II and the postwar compact with the United States. Samuels shows how the ideological connections across these wars and agreements help explain today's debate. He then explores Japan's recent strategic choices, arguing that Japan will ultimately strike a balance between national strength and national autonomy, a position that will allow it to exist securely without being either too dependent on the United States or too vulnerable to threats from China. Samuels's insights into Japanese history, society, and politics have been honed over a distinguished career and enriched by interviews with policymakers and original archival research. Securing Japan is a definitive assessment of Japanese security policy and its implications for the future of East Asia.
Political Economy of Japanese and Asian Development by Shinichi Ichimura Pdf
This book deals with the major problems that Japan and East Asian countries have faced during the turbulent years of their reconstruction and development from 1945 to the present time. The Development Report of the World Bank 1993 on the same subject was given the subtitle East Asian Miracle. I have never thought, however, that the impressive achievement of East Asian development was a miracle in any sense. Indeed, as this book tries to show, Japanese and Asian development has been the fruit of the sweat, tears, and blood of all East Asian nations. The efforts and sacrifices involved in the process of their development after World War II are no less than those during the war itself. One should not overlook the fact that almost all the peoples of East Asia have achieved not just economic development but indeed new nation-building after hundreds of years of coloni al submission. It is my assertion in this book that even economists' analyses of Asian development should pay attention to not only the logos but also the pathos of develop ment in this last half of twentieth century. Ever since I became the director of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Kyoto University in 1969, I have written extensively in English as well as in Japanese on the various problems arising in the Japanese and other Asian economies.

Overcoming Empire in Post-Imperial East Asia by Barak Kushner,Sherzod Muminov Pdf
When Emperor Hirohito announced defeat in a radio broadcast on 15th August 1945, Japan was not merely a nation; it was a colossal empire stretching from the tip of Alaska to the fringes of Australia grown out of a colonial ideology that continued to pervade East Asian society for years after the end of the Second World War. In Overcoming Empire in Post-Imperial East Asia: Repatriation, Redress and Rebuilding, Barak Kushner and Sherzod Muminov bring together an international team of leading scholars to explore the post-imperial history of the region. From international aid to postwar cinema to chemical warfare, these essays all focus on the aftermath of Japan's aggressive warfare and the new international strategies which Japan, China, Taiwan, North and South Korea utilised following the end of the war and the collapse of Japan's empire. The result is a nuanced analysis of the transformation of postwar national identities, colonial politics, and the reordering of society in East Asia. With its innovative comparative and transnational perspective, this book is essential reading for scholars of modern East Asian history, the cold war, and the history of decolonisation.
Economic Transformation in Eastern Europe and East Asia by Herbert Hax,Wolfgang Klenner,Willi Kraus,Tomoo Matsuda,Takafusa Nakamura Pdf
The changes taking place in Eastern Europe and Asia are a particular challenge for Japan and Germany. As the immediate neighbours, they are both affected by the economic and social transformations in these regions. Yet, since they are strong economic powers, they have the potential necessary to influence developments, such that Eastern Europe and Asia advance to reciprocal advantage. This volume looks into a wide range of possible supportive measures as far as capital, labour and regulatory systems are concerned, with reference to the specific economic and historic features of Japan and Germany, taking into account the current weakness of the American dollar and the costs of reunification.
The Democratisation of Japan after World War II by Anonim Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Far East, grade: A (1,5), Hong Kong Baptist Universitiy, course: Democratisation in East and Southeast Asia, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the democratisation of Japan after the Second World War. This is a particularly interesting subject, as Japan did not only democratise but also rose to become one of the most powerful economic nations on earth. I will argue that this is partly due to the American occupation that helped Japan to a privileged partnership with their former occupants - the worlds most powerful economy. Thus, my focus will be on the American influence on the democratisation process in Japan. I will, however, first provide a brief description of the time that preceded the democratisation process and then examine to the extent which the American occupants have shaped the Japanese post-war reconstruction. Finally, the reasons for the American withdrawal will be scrutinised.
